Despite Labour steady on 6%, I wonder what the 2nd preferences from FG would be given their recent attempts in Opposition to be the watchdogs they failed to be in govt for 5 years?

What outside of economic growth, and falling unemployment (and we can argue about the figures), today's western electorate is more populist and is concerned also with quality of life issues like the cost of housing, hospital overcrowding, the growth of "Nightmare to Rent" type slums, economic inequality (which the Left used to care about), dodgy policing practices and FG's attempts to play down what is staring us in the face as the position of Justice Minister turns into a game of musical chairs.
